MATERIALS AND TOOLS
• Yarn:

  • brown color yarn for the body (main yarn) – I used approximately 50 g of “Angora” by RAM (40% mohair, 60% acrylic, 500m/100g).
  • blue color yarn for the jeans - I used approximately 30 g of “Andre” by Alpina (60% acrylic, 35% rayon, and 5% spandex, 530m/100g). Tip: Please note that the yarn for the jeans should stretch a bit. Otherwise you won’t be able to put the jeans onto the toy.
  • two different colors of yarn for the scarf – I used Trikotazhnaya by Pehorka (50% wool, 50% acrylic, 780m/100g).

Tip: You can find yarn in this shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/LittleOwlsHutRUSSIAN

• Matching steel crochet hooks. I used 1.15 mm (US 9 steel crochet hook).
• A pair of straight knitting needles to knit the scarf – I used 1.5 mm.
• Light blue thread to embroider the stitches on the jeans.
• Single core copper PVC electrical wire 3 mm in diameter for the body – I used approximately 100 cm (39.4 inches) long.
• Single core copper electrical wire 1-1.5 mm in diameter for the arms and antennae – I used approximately 250 cm (98.4 inches).
• Any stuffing.
• White polymer clay for the eyes.
• Transparent varnish for the eyes.
• Fabric tape 1-1.5 cm wide to work up the wire (the one you use to cover wounds).
• Two wooden beads – I used 12 mm in diameter.
• Two glass read-made eyes – I used 7-9 mm in diameter.
• Transparent glue.
• Buttons for the shirt and jeans – I used eight buttons 5 mm in diameter.
• A piece of stretch or knit fabric for the shirt – I used a piece approximately 20 cm x 30 cm (7.9 inches x 11.8 inches). Make sure the fabric does not fray. I recommend a similar weight to T-shirt fabric.
• A piece of felt for the collar of the shirt – I used 20 cm x 5 cm (7.9 inches x 2 inches).
• A piece of thick felt for the boots – I used 3 mm thick.
• A piece of white craft foam – I used 1 mm thick. You can use white felt instead.
• Small amount of white cotton thread for the laces.
